“I would hope they’d come out angry and play with a real sense of urgency,” Smith said.

“Guys get a little chippy – but I’m not sure what guys are getting chippy for and it hasn’t translated to playing well. I thought coming off the Wisconsin win, everyone was all excited, having a good time, dancing in the locker room, spontaneous, and then to come out and play the way we played at Iowa and then it carried over into the next game, so I’m eager to see how we respond to those two losses.”

The coach pointed out that he would like to see the team working out on their own, beyond organized practices – a routine that would seem common sense given the team’s struggles.

“I’d like to see them in here more,” Smith said. “I always want to see guys get up more shots and get into the gym more. That’s what they do. That’s what they like doing. Whether they’re getting in there enough, each individual player, whether it’s a coach bringing them in or sitting down watching film, you could always do more.”
